Chapter 70 208 Heights (8)
General Peng came to the Korean Peninsula under the order of the Central Military Commission. This time he came here was actually a large-scale gathering of regular troops. Of course, everyone obviously would not think that this was a regular army. This is the volunteer army they called, and the names were different, and the meanings they assumed would not be the same. Everyone knows this.
The Volunteer Army is currently planning for the independence of the Korean Peninsula. Of course, this is not the will of the Volunteer Army at all. They uphold the spirit of China. What they want to defend is not North Korea, but China.
What is their slogan? It is to resist the United States and aid Korea, defend the country. The first sentence is the cause, and the second sentence is their result. What they are trying to defend their territory from invasion.
The purpose is to have a stable and united environment for their own country. Here they will use their passion and youth to create a good environment for future generations. Their greatness can only be highlighted after people in future generations live a stable life.
It can be said that if it weren't for them, our country would have been a different scene. Without them, our country would have been so unstable. After Mr. Peng came to Pyongyang, his first feeling was that the city was not as urgency as being surrounded by Americans, but full of a belief, which should not have been established from the beginning.
But he was slowly cultivated. As the deputy commander-in-chief of the Volunteer Army and the commander of the 18th Army, his abilities are beyond doubt.
Mr. Peng always believed in this, and Wang Mingyu's performance did not disappoint him. Wang Mingyu can be said to have used his practical actions to make everyone have a new understanding of the 18th Army.
In everyone's understanding, Japan was originally very powerful, but was driven back to its hometown by the 18th Army. Of course, it was not only the 18th Army that played its role in this process.
Or the 18th Army played a role at that time. However, the 18th Army repeatedly created glory and made the entire Chinese nation excited on the road of the War of Resistance. This greatly improved the enthusiasm and self-confidence of the entire nation in the War of Resistance. Therefore, the effect now is also positive.
Why do you say that? First of all, after the 18th Army began to achieve excellent results, the domestic response was quite enthusiastic. You should know that the 18th Army had always been secretly trained in Anqing, Liaoning. Now it suddenly appeared in front of the world, and it was the former heroic troops and the ace troops.
This gives people self-confidence naturally becomes different. Everyone should know how the 18th Army in the past made the Japanese feel heartbroken. Now the 18th Army not only makes the Japanese tremble, but also makes the US military, which has always been very powerful and even has the world's strongest.
How could this be described in the word "pride"? If we resisted the United States and aided Korea to defend our country, China was actually just a slogan at that time, in order to stabilize the people's hearts.
However, the emergence of the 18th Army made up for such a flaw and greatly improved the people. President Peng looked at the cheerful military and civilians in Pyongyang with gratitude. The foundation of a war is the people, and the dominant war is the army.
The military and civilians can have such enthusiasm and confidence.
So is this army a lion of war? The war will tell you the answer, and the war will let people know the final result. Of course, General Peng’s team did not have the entire process. This time, the entire team was almost stationed on the front line of Pyongyang, and a large number of troops were suddenly escaped from the crisis.
The Americans launched several fierce attacks on Pyongyang, but were all blocked by the 18 [31 Novel Network] army. After the U.S. Eighth Army failed to attack on the fifth day, it felt that the situation was hopeless and was ready to start to retreat slowly. However, in this process, the Americans would never give up.
They are still preparing to launch a huge counterattack so that the Chinese will never be able to live a good life. Even if the Americans can't beat China, they will be able to retreat? Obviously not.
There are only two directions for their retreat. The first direction is to retreat to the 08 Highland, and the second direction is to retreat to Incheon. The direction of Incheon is very relaxed, but other places are different.
If they retreated, if the war continued and the 08 Highlands had not been taken down, they would have to pay a great price to pass the 08 Highlands. If the Chinese on both sides began to attack them at that time, then they would have lost more than they would.
So Brown thought that if he couldn't take Pyongyang, he would also stop the Pyongyang team from coming and support the people in the 08 Highlands. At present, the battle in the 08 Highlands is so fierce that it is unimaginable.
Brown looked at the casualties and was shocking. Until now, the US military suffered more than 35,000 losses, but this 08 Highland has caused more than 10,000 Americans to lose more than 10,000. It is simply a shame for the entire US military.
But the shame made Brown feel a little shocked. He didn't expect that this would be the result. This was simply unimaginable.
It is a bit different from the concept of Brown's confident preparation for attacking Pyongyang. There is no hope in the whole of Pyongyang. It is the biggest feeling that Brown has at present.
What Brown couldn't accept was that their losses were far greater than the casualties between China and North Korea. If you asked American commanders to think about this issue before, they might be able to squirt you to death with saliva. But now facing this situation, the Americans have nothing to say.
Faced with the tremendous pressure from domestic media and politicians, the entire United States' military forces in the Far East can feel tremendous pressure. China has made a strong response, that is, they will defend the stability of the entire Korean Peninsula at all costs.
They will never let the Korean Peninsula fall into the hands of Americans, otherwise it will be a huge threat to the entire China.
Because the American media has lost the enthusiasm of the people to pay attention to this war, they will never miss this opportunity. They think that now is the best time for their news reporting.
The entire American media are crazy. Under the temptation of Hi-Tech, a large number of American journalists began to flock to the war zone. The front-line battlefield is a good choice for journalists in the entire American.
Now, journalists in the United States are fighting for the quota of reporting in the 2008 Highland, which shows how much people attach to this war in the United States.
Americans will never believe that they will be suppressed by the Chinese, even if they scold the incompetence of the army and the shamelessness of politicians.
But they still care whether their country can achieve the final victory in this war. After all, everyone has a national and regional plot.
General Peng came to Kim Il-sung's residence. At this moment, senior generals such as Wang Mingyu and others had already started lined up to welcome General Peng.
They knew that General Peng was definitely not going through the motions this time, but was going to start fighting with the Americans with real swords and guns. Therefore, under such circumstances, the entire North Korea was full of confidence in this war.
However, everyone knows that this confidence is not the confidence they have built on themselves, but the confidence brought to them by the entire China.
Originally, Kim Il-sung did not have much hope for the Chinese army. They just believed that China was a big country and their military strength was always much larger than theirs. At least they had a glimmer of hope to fight against the Americans.
But now Kim Il-sung discovered that the combat power of the Chinese was too far beyond his expectations. The impregnable defense of the entire Pyongyang showed all the problems. What shocked General Peng was that Kim Il-sung was not artificial and started to praise the 18th Army without hesitation. General Peng also felt a light on his face.
Not to mention anything else, the 18th Army is the vanguard army of the entire China. Their performance directly determines the performance of the entire China army and the morale of the entire China army.
Mr. Peng knew that since his army learned about the performance of the Americans in the 18th Army, the entire army seemed to have suddenly returned from low morale to high.
No matter who it is or what it is for, you must always have confidence. The strength of the Americans has penetrated into the hearts of the Chinese people, but the actions of the 18th Army at this moment are the best response to the Americans. They know that once the American myth is broken, they will face the counterattack of the entire China.
Is this American ready? I don't know yet. But Brown feels that he is already unable to hold on. The remaining army is only about two-thirds.
Can he really face such a large number of Chinese troops? He has no confidence. It’s not that Brown has no confidence in his soldiers, but he is really shocked by the strong combat power of the 18th Army.
Of course, there must be no army brought by General Peng to catch up with the 18th Army. If the Americans imagined these troops so strong, they would probably be more powerful and more morale would be.
After all, the remaining troops not only have no obvious advantages compared to the Americans, but also have obvious disadvantages. If it weren't for the certain military supplements given to them by Wang Mingyu, it would probably be a severe winter and they would have to go through a lot of hardships.
Don’t underestimate this problem. You should know how troops without cold clothes should spend it? North Korea’s winter is not ordinary cold. If they can solve this problem as soon as possible, they may be very difficult at that time.
Even Americans have now taken so many cold-proof clothes by the Sixth Division. If they are not replenished in time, they may be their most depressing moment.
When it comes to winter, the whole winter is not only the enemy of China, but also the enemy of the United States. If war can be chosen, the Chinese army would rather choose winter than summer, and the Americans are probably the opposite. This is the biggest difference between the two armies.
At Kim Il-sung's official residence, Mr. Peng and Kim Il-sung sat down on the head and chatted and laughed.
Kim Il-sung is under no pressure at all now. If he thought China could only confront the Americans, he now has full confidence to drive the Americans out of their homeland and achieve peaceful reunification of North Korea.
However, China's idea is not so simple. This time, President Peng and the Chairman and others had a long talk. Why do they have to have a deep discussion? They made their own judgments and analysis on the situation of the Korean War.
The current situation in North Korea is very complicated, and the battle between the Allied forces led by the Americans and the Chinese and North Korean troops will definitely be complex and changeable. However, if North Korea can really be independent, should South Korea erase them all?
The chairman thought for a long time before he made a decision, that is, the benefits and disadvantages of North Korea's independence are obvious.
At this time, the chairman had a selective attitude. He felt that he should not only make North Korea independent, but also put any pressure on him.
So in this case, South Korea's existence is also necessary. Its main purpose is to restrict North Korea so that China can be profitable.
Of course, China's first goal is definitely not this, but to strive for victory in this war. Only by winning in this war can we gain a good advantage in dialogue and negotiation. Only in this way can the entire China achieve the greatest benefits in this war.
Of course, this is the reason, but it is too difficult to achieve.
It’s not that the Chinese people themselves have no confidence in themselves. In fact, the strength of the United States is not something that is said. If the entire Chinese army is like the 18th Army, then there is really no unit of any country in this world that can compete with China, but what is the problem now?
The entire level of the troops brought by General Peng is definitely not the same level. Now, Wang Mingyu's momentum seems extremely powerful. In fact, is it really as powerful as imagined? Or is it as powerful as Kim Il-sung imagined?
Obviously this is not the case. As the war progresses, perhaps everyone will find that there is not only a gap in strength between the two sides, but also a gap in the composition of an army.
The composition of China's military is definitely not as reasonable and perfect as the Americans. Now the 18th Army covers all the ugliness, and the real gap is revealed until the other armies fight with the Americans.
Wang Mingyu's grasp of the current situation can be said to be quite in place. This is not something that others say casually, but Wang Mingyu himself understands the situation of the Korean War, but no one knows this. (To be continued)
